Description

General description

Pancreatic hydrolysate of casein is manufactured by controlled enzyme hydrolysis of milk protein. It can act as a nutrient supplement in culture media because it is rich in certain types of amino acids and hence serves as an efficient nitrogen source. It also enables the production of antibiotics, toxins, bacteriocins, enzymes, etc.

Application

Casein hydrolysate has various applications, in sterility testing media or biochemical characterization as it is utilized by a wide variety of microorganisms.It can also be used in the production of certain antibiotics, toxins, bacteriocins, and enzymes.
